Welcome to Kamrunag – A Beautiful Valley – A God – A temple

Great Trust of Peoples - Plays Lead role in Mandi Shivratri Festival.

Dev Kamrunaag “THE LORD OF RAIN” is located at District Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, INDIA

The Temple of Lord Kamrunaag also popularly known as “Bada Deo Kamrunag” – Elder Diety, is situated at an altitude of around 3500 meters in district Mandi of Himachal Pradesh. The lush green woods and enchanting natural beauty attracts a lot of devotees around the year. One of the most adventurous places in Mandi district, Kamrunaag Temple is also famous for its Lake.

“मंडी जिले से कुछ दूरी पर भगवान कमरुनाग का मंदिर है। मंदिर के पास ही एक झील है, जिसे कमरुनाग झील के नाम से जाना जाता है। यहां पर लगने वाले मेले में हर साल भक्तों की काफी भीड़ जुटती है और पुरानी मान्यताओं के अनुसार भक्त झील में सोने-चांदी के गहनें तथा पैसे डालते हैं। सदियों से चली आ रही इस परम्परा के आधार पर यह माना जाता है कि इस झील के गर्त में अरबों का खजाना दबा पड़ा है।”

Kamarunag is one of the best destinations in Himachal Pradesh. Relatively less known Himalayan trek, Kamrunag is not even listed well in the official tourism websites of Himachal Pradesh. Like all other lakes in Himachal Pradesh, Kamarunag or Kumarwah Lake has its own legend.

The lake is completely frozen in winters and only experienced trekkers should go there during this time of year. Reach at the top and see Mother Nature at its best! Walking on the frozen lake and a slide along the slanting snowy surfaces can be a pleasant experience to anyone. For new trekkers, it is advisable to visit Kamarunag during summers.

All the way to Kamarunag you will be enjoying the breathtaking views of snow clad Dhauladhar ranges and Balh Valley. Do not expect the modern amenities to be present anywhere close to the Kamarunag Lake. It is one of the lakes in Himachal Pradesh where you can actually find yourself in the wild.

Cultural and Religious Significance: Kamarunag Lake has enormous religious significance in the region. Temple of one of most revered deities in Mandi, known as Kamrunag Dev is situated on the banks of lake. Known as ?Raining God? in the region, people often approach the temple priest in large numbers to for favorable weather conditions. A fair is held at this place on 14th of June every year. People make various offerings including ornaments, coins etc.
